Astonishing DNA complexity demolishes neo-Darwinism

The traditional understanding of DNA has recently been transformed beyond recognition. DNA does not, as we thought, carry a linear, one-dimensional, one-way, sequential code—like the lines of letters and words on this page. And the 97% in humans that does not carry protein-coding genes is not, as many people thought, fossilized ‘junk’ left over from our evolutionary ancestors. DNA information is overlapping-multi-layered and multi-dimensional; it reads both backwards and forwards; and the ‘junk’ is far more functional than the protein code, so there is no fossilized history of evolution. No human engineer has ever even imagined, let alone designed an information storage device anything like it. Moreover, the vast majority of its content is metainformation—information about how to use information. Meta-information cannot arise by chance because it only makes sense in context of the information it relates to. Finally, 95% of its functional information shows no sign of having been naturally selected; on the contrary, it is rapidly degenerating! That means Darwin was wrong—natural selection of natural variation does not explain the variety of life on Earth. The best explanation is what the Bible tells us: we were created—as evidenced by the marvels of DNA—but then we fell and now endure the curse of ‘bondage to decay’ by mutations...

I decided to post this as its own thread. Enjoy!

Are you kidding me? All that complex DNA stuff happened randomly, pure chance. Everything in the universe that appears to have design is just a “fortunate accident”.

[GodGunsGuts]

Did I ping you to this?

[MimirsWell]

More BS about ID.

[GodGunsGuts]

Perhaps it appears to be designed for a reason :o)

[Rudder]

That means Darwin was wrong...

More pure B.S. from the irreducible complexity moonbats.

I highly recommend the book, “Cosmic Codes”, by Chuck Missler.

As this new information confirms, DNA is holographic. That is, the information is encoded and distributed throughout the medium.

But not only is DNA likely holographic, but so our brains may be also.

The Bible exhibits holographic properties.

But even more startling, even our entire reality, what we perceive as the “physical” universe, may be a hologram.

Niels Bohr said that the only thing Quantum Physics has going for it is that it is undeniably correct.

Actually, if you check my recent posting history, you will find that he has written three papers back to back (to include this one) that are absolutely devastating to naturalistic evolution. And btw, he’s a Young Earth Creationist, not an IDer. However, he does think that nature screams intelligent design (notice I didn’t capitalize). You need the Bible to graduate from ID to YEC.

From "Creation on the Web"

So close, and yet...

My, how informative you are.

Perhaps you can supply us with an intelligent refutation of the information provided in the article rather than schoolyard namecalling and unsupported assertions.

[GodGunsGuts]

I’ll look it up. Thanks for the tip. I love Missler on prophecy. I didn’t realize that he branched out into science (although, I seem to recall that was his occupation before he went into full-time ministry).

Chuck Missler is an engineer and was one of the principal technologists at the Jet Propulsion Labs before giving his life to Christ.

I would like to challenge you to read the paper linked to this post, and then the two papers written by Williams linked to the following post...and then try and tell me it’s moonbatery.

PS Williams maintains that all life (not just bacterial flagellums and blood clotting cascades) is irreducible to natural causes. And as far as I can tell, his arguments form an airtight case against naturalistic evolution (and for intelligent design). Trust me, he goes way beyond Behe.

I knew it had something to do with the sciences. I’m looking up his book right now. Thanks again—GGG

[Coyoteman]

You've really hit it big this time. Not even pretending to do science; there is nothing but religious apologetics in this article.

Why don't you post these in the Religion Forum? They would be much more appropriate there?

[GodGunsGuts]

Because all of God’s creatures deserve to know what science tells us about the glory of God’s creation.

Job 5:9
He performs wonders that cannot be fathomed, miracles that cannot be counted.

[GodGunsGuts]

Amen to that! Thanks for that wonderful verse my brother :o)

I don’t appreciate that.
